"Toyopet" : The Toyopet brand name was chosen in a public naming competition. The various meanings of "Mark" are the same as in English (target, grade, fame). "Corona Mark II" can be taken to mean that the car is both "the second-generation model" and "an upgraded version" of the Corona.
The available engines included a 2-liter 4-cylinder unit (18R-U), a 2-liter inline 6-cylinder SOHC unit (M-U), its EFI version (M-EU), and a new 2.6-liter 6-cylinder unit (4M-U). The previous double wishbone and coil spring system of the front suspension was replaced with a McPherson strut and coil spring arrangement, and the rigid axle rear suspension was upgraded from 4- to 5-link coil spring design. High-end models employed a semi-trailing arm and coil spring-type independent rear suspension. The front wheel disc brakes became standard for all models, and high-end models came with 4-wheel disc brakes. The 1,800 cc engine was brought back in April 1977, and all engines became compliant with the 1978 emission standards by March 1979.
In a minor model change in August 1978, large shock-absorbing bumpers were made available as an option for 2.6- and 2-liter models. At the same time, the brand name was switched from Toyopet to Toyota. In September 1979, a model equipped with a 2,188 cc diesel engine (Type L) was added to the lineup.
